The Geared Immortal

Chapter 458 - The New Power In Town

Chapter 451

/*unedited*/

The scene where a fat middle-aged man is pointing a half a meter long black hollow stick in front of a young man can be seen in the ruined front gate of the Yang family courtyard. The weapon looks like a blunderbuss short rifle that pirates use in the old times on earth.

However, in this world, it looks domineering and dangerous.

In fact, this weapon is the reason why the old man is afraid of the Fah family.

Unlike ordinary old guns, this weapon uses Qi and special bullets hence it is very effective against cultivators. One can say that it's like an anti-cultivator weapon in this era. And Shin Jiao is aware of this particular weapon as these were the old designs he has given in the underground base before which was gradually improved.

How could such a weapon reach this place? That he didn't know…

But he became weary of its prowess as he can feel strong Qi and mana inside the gun.

As the pudgy man roared in anger, Shin Jiao also made his move. He dodges to the side, but it seems that the middle-aged man is not that simple and is actually proficient in using such a weapon. It seems that he's been using this to terrorize or conquer others in this town.

The barrel of the gun actually followed Shin Jiao's movement and it didn't even lose sight of him.

With a wide grin on his face, the patriarch of the Fah family pulled the trigger and hit Shin Jiao squarely on his chest. The impact was so huge that it created a loud booming sound and a shockwave that threw all the people in the area a couple of meters away.

"What kind of weapon was that?"

"That's the Fah family's patriarch's secret weapon… it too frightening."

"I think that young man is now a goner… he should not have messed with the Fah family."

"Haha… our patriarch is too awesome, that would teach the Yang family not to mess with us."

The people began to clamor and talk as they stood up from the ground and look at the mess and the dust cloud in the area.

They can see the huge impact and the destruction that the weapon had caused, even the patriarch of the Fah family was struck to the wall with a dumbfounded look on his face.

"How… how could this weapon be that powerful? It… it didn't have this kind of power last time?" he muttered as he recovered from his shock.

His whole body was aching as he picks himself up from the rubbles.

But upon seeing that the young man he shot at was nowhere to be seen a sneer appeared on his fat face.

"Haha… no matter how powerful you are, you're no match to me and my powerful artifact." He said with arrogantly as he walked towards the center of the rubble.

As the cloud of dust died down his pudgy figure can be seen standing in the middle of the rubbles with both of his hands on his hips standing heroically while facing the rest of the people. Everyone had an awestruck look on their faces mixed with fear and respect. Although they are now eyeing the artifact on the fat man's hand, they dared not covet it for fear of extermination.

"Did you see that! That is the power of my Fah family. Those who dare to insult or fight against us will die a miserable death… Not even their corpse would remain." He said with his nose in the air.

All the people from the Yang family are now really afraid of the situation.

Inside the meeting room, Guang Yang along with his guard and Wen Mo Yang look at the grim situation with a sullen face. Wen Mo Yang is especially worried and angry at the same time as she saw what happened to Shin Jiao. She didn't expect that Shin Jiao would fall in this situation; hence her heart felt a pang of pain for involving him in their family's matter.

Clenching her small fists, she walked towards the window.

"Wait, Wen'er… Please don't be too hasty. If your powerful friend is unable to defeat that fat b*stard of the Fah family, how can you?" Guang Yang said as he held his daughter's arm.

"Dad, he helped me and our family… how can I back down now? I owe him too much and I… I… killed him." She said with a bit stuttering in her tone.

Although their relationship is not that close, Shin Jiao showed her kindness and friendship that she has never felt before. Unlike most strangers in her life who would only covet her beauty of the money of their family, he seems different… sincere even.

"I… I won't let you just face this alone. I am the patriarch of the clan… I will fight along with you."

"No father… you must take care of mother and concubine Cho. They need you right now. I and the 5 shadow guards of the family will take care of this."

"Yes, master… Let us earn our keep."

"You've been kind to us all of our lives, it's time to pay you back."

With these words, Guang Yang couldn't refute them. With his low cultivation level, he would just be a burden to the group. With a nod of his head, he turns around and walks towards the door.

"I pray for everyone for your safety… Please be careful out there." He said as he walked out.

He knew of the danger and he cursed himself for being too weak, but what can he do but hand everything to his promising daughter.

The six people in the room jumped out of the window and stood atop the rooftop of the courtyard facing the people below.

"Oh, if it isn't the daughter of the Yang family… Haha… you are a beauty that I agree with. But your clan offended my Fah family, so you all must die… that is… unless you surrender us everything, then we will let bygone be bygone… What do you think?"

"Shameless pig! My Yang family will not bow to your Fah family. We will fight till the last breath if you think you can take what my father has worked for his whole life like this… Then dream on!" shouted Wen Mo Yang.

"You've chosen your path, then don't blame for being impolite!"

The fat man sneered as he suddenly pointed the barrel of the blunderbuss towards the main house. With the huge impact that happened before he felt that his weapon has become more powerful.

"With this, I can eliminate everyone in one go… Hehe…" he thought.

However, as soon as he was about to pull the trigger, he saw a small figure from the hole on the wall standing calmly while looking at his fat figure.

That figure is also holding an artifact and pointing at him. With his cultivation level and his eyesight, he can see the face of Shin Jiao and the sneer on the young man's mouth.

He immediately felt the chill running down his spine as the prospect of dying covered his entire fat and fleshy face. However, everything was too late.

"You can die now…" Shin Jiao muttered as he pulled the trigger of the handgun in his hand.

Pfft!!!

The sound of a silenced pistol and a silver flash of light appear.

And this was followed by the bursting of the fat man's head, like a melon being hit by a very strong force.

Upon hitting the skull of the fat middle-aged man patriarch of the Fah family, the bullet suddenly scattered along with the exploding flesh. All the white brain matters mixed with blood splattered all over the place.

Some unlucky people in the crowd were hit as they fell to the ground with wounds in some parts of their bodies.

This horrible scene made everyone took a step back.

And when they saw Shin Jiao's figure calmly walking out of a whole which seems to have been made because of him crashing through it, they were all scared.

How could someone survive such an explosion? Although Shin Jiao's clothes were in tatters, they can see that he was unharmed.

Shin Jiao right now was a bit pissed at the fat man and his entourage. Though he was not hurt or wounded by the explosion because he suddenly punches the incoming bullet at that instant, it still turned his clothes in tatters.

"Damn it! This is one of my favorite robes… it was a cool looking clothes." He muttered as he looks at this tattered clothing.

The explosion was too strong that although the fabric was strong it didn't withstand the impact and the debris.

Shin Jiao knew that if his physique was still in the infant soul realm he could have been wounded by that strong weapon.

"I didn't think they were able to upgrade that thing to this degree. There might be someone in this kingdom that is proficient in making artifacts." He thought as he walks towards the body of the pudgy man.

"Now… is there anyone else?" he asked as he picks up the blunderbuss on the ground.

Seeing the young man with two powerful weapons everyone was silent. Even the old man who is considered as the most powerful cultivator in town didn't say anything.

"Good… since the Fah family wanted to destroy my friend's home, then they should be expecting the same, right?" Shin Jiao said while looking at the people in front of him.

Everyone was not able to move and the Fah people fell silent.
